Modeling of multi-junction solar cells for estimation of EQE under influence of charged particles using artificial neural networks

Patra, Jagdish C.; Maskell, Douglas L. - In: Renewable Energy 44 (2012) C, pp. 7-16

External quantum efficiency (EQE) of a solar cell provides information on the internal operations of the solar cells which can be used in optimization of solar cell design. The EQE of solar cells for space applications is adversely affected by the influence of charged particles in space. Usually...
